🌬️ Struggling to catch a full, easy breath? You’re not alone.

Breathing is something we often take for granted — until it becomes difficult.
For many people living with asthma, COPD, shallow breathing, wheezing, or ongoing coughs (wet or dry), every day can feel restrictive and exhausting.
But breathing isn’t just physical — it’s closely linked to stress, tension, and overall wellbeing.

When the body is under strain, breathing patterns can become tight and shallow, making symptoms feel worse and harder to manage.
By supporting the body as a whole, it’s possible to help:
✨ Ease tight, restricted breathing
✨ Reduce frequency of coughing or wheezing
✨ Improve relaxation and oxygen flow
✨ Support overall respiratory wellbeing
✨ Calm the nervous system, especially during flare-ups
With over 35 years of clinical experience, Joanna takes a gentle, personalised approach — helping you feel more at ease in your body and more confident in your breathing.

📍 Based in Herefordshire, offering calm, supportive care for long-term and ongoing conditions.
💬 Do you notice your breathing worsens with stress, cold weather, or fatigue?

🌿 Could food be affecting your child’s health more than you think?

Many children struggle with symptoms that don’t always have a clear cause — from tummy aches and bloating to skin flare-ups, fatigue, headaches, or changes in mood and behaviour.

Sometimes, the answer lies in how their body responds to certain foods.
Food intolerance is different from allergies — it can be more subtle, building up over time and showing up as everyday symptoms such as:

✨ Digestive discomfort or irregular bowels
✨ Eczema, rashes, or skin irritation
✨ Low energy or difficulty concentrating
✨ Headaches or general discomfort
✨ Irritability or unsettled behaviour

Joanna helps identify potential triggers and supports you with clear, practical guidance to gently adjust your child’s diet — without overwhelm or restriction.
With over 35 years of clinical experience, Joanna offers a calm, supportive approach for families looking to better understand their child’s health.

📍 Based in Herefordshire, supporting children and families with personalised care.
💬 Have you ever wondered if certain foods could be affecting your child’s wellbeing?

❤️ When your heart feels heavy — emotionally or physically — acupuncture can help restore balance.

Do you ever feel your heart race, flutter, skip a beat, or tighten when life becomes overwhelming?
Symptoms like palpitations, A.F, missed beats, chest discomfort, faint spells, or a constant sense of unease can feel frightening — and they often intensify during times of grief, heartbreak, or loss of joy.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Heart is not only responsible for circulation — it is the centre of emotion, peace, and inner brightness. When emotional stress builds, the Heart’s energy can become unsettled, leading to both physical and emotional symptoms such as:

✨ Palpitations
✨ Racing or irregular pulses
✨ Chest tightness
✨ Faintness
✨ Emotional heaviness
✨ Feeling disconnected or joyless

Joanna brings 35+ years of clinical experience to each treatment, blending nursing expertise with compassionate acupuncture care to help calm the nervous system, steady the heart, and gently support emotional healing.

📍 Based here in Herefordshire, Joanna offers a warm, safe space for those navigating both physical heart symptoms and emotional pain.

💬 Have you noticed your heart symptoms feel stronger during stress or emotional times?

🌬️ Do you ever feel short of breath — as if you can’t quite fill your lungs? 🫁

For those living with asthma, COPD, shallow breathing, or persistent coughs (wet or dry), every breath can feel like a struggle.

Through gentle, targeted acupuncture, Joanna helps support the lungs, diaphragm, and body’s natural energy flow, improving oxygenation and easing the tightness that comes with chronic breathing difficulties.

Acupuncture has been shown to help relax airway muscles, reduce inflammation, and calm the nervous system — allowing your body to breathe more freely and deeply.

✨ Each treatment is tailored to your unique pattern, helping you move from tension and wheezing toward calm, balanced breathing.

📍 Based here in Herefordshire, Joanna combines decades of clinical experience in both nursing and Traditional Chinese Medicine to support your respiratory health naturally.
